this might be really lame, but there is an afterparty. I did the aeolian ride 2 yrs ago and it was awesome so there is a chance this could be cool. (

I plan on riding to it just to check it out, if anyone else wants to go, we can meet at the BKwave:
The Bicycle Bell Ensemble Debut will be Tuesday May 29 in Hollywood and in conjunction with the opening of "Origin is the Goal" curated by Darin Klein at LACE.
1) Website is online:
http://bicyclebellensemble.org2) Meeting time and place for ride is set: 7:00 pm @ Hollywood/Vine Metro Station (will will ride promptly at 7:15)
3) A working map has been drawn (i will test and finalize this week):
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=9598394) A rehersal has been tentatively scheduled for next wednesday evening. Confirmation and location to follow.
5) An after party has been arranged: Barcade: 371 N. Western Ave.
6) The whole thing is starting to solidify:
We will meet, ride and perform on the streets of hollywood. The first part will be improvised playing where we work around the rhythm of our composer/conductor: David Semien. We will arrive at LACE (6522 Hollywood blvd.) at around 8pm 10-15 of us will take our bikes into the gallery, form a circle, dim the lights and play a short composition (5-10 mins) by the light of our red blinkies. If you are interested in playing in the gallery portion of the performance please try to make the rehearsal and/or be in touch with me. The first part is open to everyone so feel free to bring a friend(s). Because of space and logistics we can only have about 15 people with bikes in the gallery so please contact me if you want to perform in the gallery.
There will be at least 3 more dispatches about the ride/ performance. If you don't want to receive them just drop me a line.
My very best,
- Patrick
